we cannot look at housing or transportation in a vacuum. connecting them creates a flywheel effect where land value funds transit expansion this was common sense a century ago, as subway lines were built in tandem with brand new neighborhoods. glad to see we’re bringing it back
New York State just authorized a land value tax that could generate billions of dollars for new transit. For the @NiskanenCenter, @aarmlovi and I wrote about how the renewal of § 119-r in the FY27 budget could unlock a virtuous cycle of infrastructure delivery in NYC.
Walkable cities don't just benefit transit users, often they are also the best places for Car enthusiasts When driving isn't mandated for a commute, cars aren't treated like appliances, people will often own more fun and/or older cars to drive whenever they want instead
Looking at just the NFL, we had 7.7m residents per team in 1970 after the merger, today it is 10.3m per team. Great for team owners, less great for fans seeking an affordable day out.
We need the antitrust and abundance people to ally against the pro sports leagues. The nfl, nba, mlb, and nhl shouldn’t be able to operate as cartels that restrict the supply of top-level teams. It’s bad for fan affordability, stadium subsidies, and athlete labor markets.

@MattZeitlin I dunno, I think we just need an abundance agenda for experiences. These things can scale — look how many concert residency seats Las Vegas has added in the last 20 years. With different policy, Colorado could have way more skiable acres and hotel rooms. Etc etc
Unless factory built homes are judged by the same outcomes as site built ones: fire, durability, energy, inspections, etc and not a separate suspicion tax … they cannot repeat assemblies, approvals & financing Which eliminates all advantages of industrial manufacturing
From the White House EO in March This was the clause I advocated for: Factory or modular construction should be evaluated only on its merits & performance. Unfortunately, in many cities it is singled out for special scrutiny … under the mistaken belief it’s all low quality
@CathyReisenwitz Fog of War. Bio of Robert McNamara, kennedy and Johnson’s SECDEF, and did statistical analysis of ww2 strategic bombing during the war at Harvard. imdb.com/title/tt031791…
The Chicken Tax is one reason new vehicles in the US are less affordable than we would like. Full-size light trucks average $66k transaction price, and we are only slowly seeing more CT-compliant small trucks, but we could have more w/o the Chicken Tax 6/6 marketplace.org/story/2026/04/…
Other automakers circumvent the tariff with creative engineering. Subaru added jump seats to the bed of the Brat pickup truck to classify it as a passenger vehicle. More recently, Ford shipped Turkish-built Transit Connect c̶a̶r̶g̶o̶ passenger vans with rear seats and windows. 5/
It's hard to believe this conversation on car affordability doesn't include the Chicken Tax, our 1960s retaliatory tariff on truck imports. It's the most impactful import restriction in the auto industry and still shapes truck offerings in our market. 1/
I think the fairest summary of this argument is that @mattyglesias hates freedom and choice and the American Way. theargumentmag.com/p/why-democrat…
@wmata the HVAC in car 3000 on the silver line to Ashburn is out of action. It’s toasty in here, and oddly quiet without the hum of fans running.
I know people who live in all sorts of places, but they’re not a representative sample of anything. So I don’t read too much into it.
It feels like everyone I know living in top east coast cities (NYC, Boston, DC, Philly) is either moving to Florida or thinking about moving to Florida.
@MattZeitlin They should sell them at rock bottom prices… in Jacksonville Fl, Dallas TX, and Oklahoma City
You can read the full report here: pew.org/en/research-an…
More streamlined permitting that comes from preapproved plan programs also benefit small developers who are less likely to be experts in navigating discretionary review processes and more interested in building small projects. 3/
Excellent report out from Pew today on preapproved residential building plans. Preapproved plan catalogs allow entrepreneurial localities to cut development costs by a few percentage points and provide developers with significant time savings in delivering new housing.
America's farmers and the White House agree. We need year-round E-15. Let's get it passed.
